It was wonderful! My mom made up this story that my dad's boss's son, Paul, was getting married and my brother's were going to sleep over my Aunt Shannon's cause my cousin (her son) is the same age as my brothers. So I was to spend the night at my other aunt's house (Jess) since she was having a party on friday that I was going to. They had this so nicely planned that I honestly didn't know what was going on. :blush:

A lot of people turned up and I'd say about 80% of them were family :haha:
I got so much stuff for Olivia though! I'll need to take pictures of it and post it later. :cloud9:

I also ended up with LOADS of gift-cards cause I'm using cloth diapers (and sposies for travel, etc) and nobody knows the ins-and-outs of them so they said it was "safer" to just give me a gift card and let me pick it out :haha:

But, the best part of the whole shower......My dad came down!! :happydance:
My bio-dad lives in Arlington, VA (right outside D.C) and it's about a 4.5 hour drive to where I live from there. He came down on his bike (motorcycle, not bicycle :winkwink:) with baby gifts strapped to the back of it :haha:
I was super surprised he came down. I haven't seen him since my birthday (Oct.) So he hasn't seen me all big and pregnant.
It was wonderful. Just wonderful. :cloud9:

There's pictures from the day on my fb for those who have me on there. (if not, just PM me. I love new friends :winkwink:)
Baby shower!

Thanks ladies :hugs:
And Alex, those weren't even all of them! I had all down the wall as well. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to get through them all. My house looks like Babies R Us puked all over it. :haha:
A lot of it was the "small" things that you need a lot of. Like socks, soap, bottles, etc. But from what I understand everybody had a blast shopping for her! :thumbup:

i love the whole fruit platter thing that looked amazing :)
